Paul, servant of the mystery made known by revelation.

This is what I pray:

In the abundance of his Father’s glory may he, through his Spirit, enable you to grow with regard to your inner self, so that Christ may live in your hearts through faith…

Page 4: Jesus Gateway PowerPoint - Pauline Lay Convention St. Louis

The call to be a Christian is a

call to grow.

Usually we hear warnings against doing things.

The Call of Christ, on the other hand, is a call to journey, to advance.

Page 5: Jesus Gateway PowerPoint - Pauline Lay Convention St. Louis

Early Christians called themselves “followers of the Way.” The word “Disciple” is linked to the word “to follow” over 70 times in the gospels.

Paul knew this as Jesus broke into his life on the way to Damascus.

Paul was a traveler.

Our journey begins when we are grasped by God who takes us in the direction of our true self. We are called to life in the Trinity.

As Blessed Alberione we

respond:

The hand of the Lord was upon me…

We need saints to go before us on these paths that have never been trodden before and which in part are not even marked out clearly.

The desire to respond to the signs of the times and places where we serve

is a passion for Christ and for humanity.

Page 16: Jesus Gateway PowerPoint - Pauline Lay Convention St. Louis

Jesus draws us to himself and configures us to his image

and then sends us forth with His Gospel

John Paul II wrote:

“In the face of a society in which love often finds no place for expressing itself in gratitude…

Page 19: Jesus Gateway PowerPoint - Pauline Lay Convention St. Louis

We are called to witness

to the logic of a selfless gift…

for love of the

Lord Jesus and,in him, for every

memberof the human

family…

The only pathway for a disciple isto follow Christ. There is no other

road.”

John Paul II, Message to the World Congress on Consecrated Life, 2004.

We do not construct the Kingdom of God by our own efforts – as disciples of Jesus as we shape the world in the power of the Spirit.

Page 22: Jesus Gateway PowerPoint - Pauline Lay Convention St. Louis

The call of each of follower of Jesus is simply to love.

The The Eucharist Eucharist we receive we receive enables us enables us to love.to love.

It was on the road that Paul met Jesus.

After meeting Jesus he is sent on the true way.

Our journey starts with God’s movement toward us and our responsive movement toward God.
